IV Drip on wheels

Spotted on the streets of Phnom Penh.

The lady on the motorbike is holding a drip which is connected to the scalp of the little boy sitting between her & the driver.

Drips are readily available at local pharmacies here in Cambodia. Commonly, people who fall sick tend to ask for a drip. It's thought to help the body get stronger. Many report to feeling better after having a "drip treatment".

Doctors who give "drip treatment" are generally considered good while those who don't may be deemed otherwise. In general, the more medications and injections one receives from a doctor, the better the service is thought to be. Hopefully this mindset is slowly changing with education.
